Rotor locks
Rotor locks constitute an essential safety component on every wind turbine application. The rotor lock RLH80 is a hydraulically applied, form-closed lock for wind turbine rotors.
The RLH80 consists of a double action hydraulic cylinder that pushes a conical locking stud into a support on the rotor. Any further rotation is blocked until the stud is hydraulically retracted.
Optionally, the RLH80 can be equipped with a manually activated safety system that keeps the end position of the stud fixed independent from hydraulic pressure.
